“I’ve done most of the various BPT topic based courses (renal, immunology, haematology, neurology and statistics). I can wholeheartedly say that the calibre of the genetics course was superior to the other courses. The high standard of the individual lecturers, design and layout of the individual lectures, delivery website and portal were excellent. The posted course book was also excellent and the only feedback I have is very much a personal preference where I find spiral binding easier to manage rather than thermal binding. Thank you for making a difficult topic seem manageable and straightforward. I have not only learnt genetics for the exam but genuinely have learnt genetics for life.”
